Things are not always as they seem. Many inflation reduction actions do not reduce inflation; debts are transferred, not forgiven; and free money is never free. How much are you willing to pay for government programs that provide incentives and subsidies designed to achieve political objectives? Would you like to pay debts belonging to others? Policy double-speak easily distracts the taxpayer from truth and the results are devastating to our citizens, economy, national security, and culture. Linda interviews Joel Griffith, Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss the high costs of free government programs and the action steps every citizen can take to protect their economic future.  © Copyright 2022, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Flip the switch and flip the script. Reliable sources and secure supply chains for food and fuel are necessary for a healthy, well-functioning society. We often take both for granted.

Linda interviews Tom Pyle, President of American Energy Alliance and The Institute for Energy Research, to discuss current energy rhetoric and policies. As we flip light switches on, let’s also flip misleading scripts and focus on facts to increase our energy literacy and promote safe, reliable energy solutions.  © Copyright 2022, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Freedom is never free. Many have given their lives in defense of freedom. We grieve with their loved ones and honor their sacrifice. How can we honor the fallen by fighting for freedom today? We may not all be soldiers in uniform, but we must all step up to fight for truth, justice, our Constitution, and the principles that made this nation great. Our country is at a crossroads.

America is a beacon of freedom for the world. Strengthened by our diversity, we have welcomed millions who have immigrated in pursuit of their American Dream. However, there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and we are currently experiencing an immigration crisis unlike anything in history. Illegal immigrants are flooding our borders in record numbers and are often enjoying taxpayer funded housing, food, transportation, health care, and more. They are rarely vetted properly, and increases in crime, drug cartels, human labor and sex-trafficking, and child exploitation indicate not all are entering with pure motives. Innocent people are victimized, every town is now a border town, and our nation risks destruction from within.

Equality is a hallmark of our society. Our Constitution provides for true equality for all American citizens, regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, and financial or health status. However, equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcomes, and we help people the most when we provide opportunities for all to thrive, not just a select few. Many current government policies are not based on equal treatment under the law, and freedom fighting lawyers are valiantly working to rescue and defend the true concept and application of equality.  Linda’s guest, Daniel Lennington, is a lawyer with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. This is Part 1 of a two-part interview in which they discuss several cases involving racial discrimination, public school curriculum transparency, parent’s rights, and employer health mandates. Listen to learn how each case may affect you and get tips on how to protect your rights under the law.  © Copyright 2021, Prosperity 101, LLC ----------------------------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Our nation is crying out for bold leaders who will stand for the principles that have made America great. However, too often when we see something that needs to be done, we think someone else should do it. Whether it is writing an important book, educating employees or others on policy issues, running for office in hopes of protecting freedom, or simply volunteering to help someone in need, it is easy to assume someone else will act rather than take action ourselves. We can be content to sit on the sidelines as others make the plays that greatly impact our lives and freedom. Dr. Brad Bark is Linda’s guest, and his story of triumph over loss reminds us that life is too short to sit on the sidelines. If we want to see positive change happen, we must get in the game to make a difference. Brad’s story reminds us of the impact one person can make if they boldly step out in faith to serve God and others. Life is short. Get in the game!  © Copyright 2021, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Small businesses, many of them family-owned, are the backbone of our economy. They have experienced lockdowns, mask mandates, overbearing tax and regulatory burdens, supply chain issues, and labor shortages.

Linda’s guest, Steven Fettig, is the CFO of two family-owned manufacturing corporations in Wisconsin. They decided to stand for freedom and challenge the mandates through the legal system, adding their efforts to those of many other brave leaders across the country who are rising in opposition to the mandates.

It is no secret that America is currently suffering from supply chain issues. Many store shelves are empty and needed items are hard to find. Businesses and consumers are frustrated with seemingly endless back-orders, delays, and price increases. They are even more frustrated with those in government responsible for preventing and alleviating the crisis. How did we get here and what can be done about it? In the past, consumers demanded lower prices, leading to many jobs being shipped to countries with lower labor costs. However, there is a high cost to lower prices. Our dependence on other countries for essential products and materials has threatened our national security, our energy, medical, and food supply, and it has had a devastating effect on our economy. In this episode, Linda interviews James Stuber, Founder of Made in America Again, an organization created to educate, motivate, and inspire Americans to restore and nurture individual communities and the American Dream through the power of consumer choice. Learn how you can make a difference and avoid the high cost of low prices by choosing American made products.   © Copyright 2021, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

What type of legacy do you hope to leave? Will the actions you take today help to preserve freedom for the next generation? We all have a limited lifespan. What kind of impact do you hope to have on your family, employees, or others? We can use our time to grow in our relationship to God, to serve others, and to boldly stand up for the principles of truth, justice and liberty – or we can use our time to serve temporal gods of money, pleasure, or convenience. What will you choose? In this episode, dedicated to Linda’s parents, she shares examples of legacy leadership in business and at home, and encourages listeners to live boldly, with eternity in mind. True prosperity does not come from monetary gain. The true path to prosperity begins in the heart. You can create a legacy of leadership, love, and truth. Be bold. Don’t let cancel culture or naysayers intimidate you into silence. Speak up for the values that made this nation great and for the policies that have provided freedom for millions of people to flourish. When we do that, we can leave a positive generational legacy that will light the path to true freedom for the next generation.  © Copyright 2021, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

America has always been a welcoming nation. We are a melting pot of people from different countries, ethnicities, colors, and creeds who have flocked here for the freedom and opportunity our system of government has offered. In the past, immigrants were required to prove they would not become dependent on government; that they could work and become productive members of society. Immigrants were welcomed and our nation grew stronger with their presence. Our current open border policies are weakening our nation. People are flocking here by the thousands, and our tax dollars are used to feed, house, and transport immigrants to cities across the nation. Most are not screened for diseases or criminal backgrounds. An open border invites crime, drug and sex trafficking, and allows our enemies to assimilate into society at our expense. This is a national security nightmare. Tom Homan, the former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has served under six presidents and has witnessed first-hand the positive and negative effects of various immigration and border security policies. He shares with Linda his deepest fears for our nation, and his recommendations for protecting our borders while tending to the humanitarian needs of citizens and immigrants.  © Copyright 2021, Prosperity 101, LLC  -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.
